Problem with gambling? Call 1-800-589-9966.

Anybody partaking? I got a free $100 from FanDuel and have been messing around with little $2-$5 parlays all day.
 
Can someone explain to me why this is a big deal?

I mean, outside of you being able to place sports bets at casinos and stadiums now...from an app perspective, why does this matter? It seemed like tons of my friends were already using Fan Duel/Draft Kings/etc before even when it was "illegal" here.

So how did everyone get away with it before? And what does it being "legal" now change (again, from an app perspective) ?

A lot of my buddies had been gambling but they had to go through a bookie who was had some kind of setup that let them put in bets even though they were still located in Ohio.

I was on the app last night during the Buckeye game and it legit had me locked out of everything until midnight and I have to re-log in every time I use it because it geotracks you to make sure you're in a legal spot.
 
I know some of my friends used mybookie as well but I understand how that works.

What I don't understand is how they were using Fan Duel and such apps before...
 
Up $400 on the day, left about $800 more on the table if some combination of 1 more reb for Jokic, 3 more points for Tatum or 1 more reb for Horford hit. I was a little lose on parlays but it was a fun first day. Time to buckle up and play smart.

There is a lot of free money out there right now to be had. Not only is there sign up bonuses & referral bonuses, but there are also shit they use to promote the new state legalization. Tomorrows game is Cincy just needs to score 1 point to cash. Can bet up to $100 to double your money. While still a risk, it is minimal IMO. Today one of the sites had Cleveland vs Washington for +1 passing yard, with a bet up to $50.
 
P.S.

@Underdog_NBA on twitter is the best source for breaking news. Notifications sent to your phone is the way to go. Was able to grab Washington +6.5 today when Giannis was downgraded to questionable mid day. Raced to the app before the books could adjust. Line ended up closing at 2.5 once he was ruled out. Having no life and staring at your phone all day can have it’s benefits and you can get value if you are fast enough

Also if any of you are subscribed to daily fantasy sites you can look at the projected stats and get pretty good numbers based off projections. Slammed Sabonis over 12.5 rebounds because he was projected for 14. Easy game.. FINANCIAL ADVICE
 
So if you bet $100 and Cincy scores at least a point, you get $200? Or is there more to it?
There's more to it. All of these special offers are like a drug dealer giving you the first hit for free.

There are rules against immediately cashing out. You typically have to re-wager any promotional winnings multiple times before it lets you cash out.

So they are forcing you to double or triple your already substantial winnings??? Sign me up.
 
What apps are you guys using?
 
First guy to put a bet down was Pete Rose. Great. Perhaps the only thing MLB has done right the past 30 years is keeping that asshole out of the sport. He keeps proving why he should never get in the HoF.

Bet up to $100 and 1 or more points scored in total Buf or Cincy and you win. Available to withdraw at your convenience.
